measured after the minimum burning 

time of 30 minutes. 

(C) Alternative Stabilization Method. 

In cases where switching from the 

reference ballast to test ballast without 

extinguishing the lamp is impossible, 

such as for low-frequency electronic 

ballasts, the alternative stabilization 

method must be used. Lamps using the 

alternative stabilization method must be 

stabilized in accordance with section 

4.4.3 of ANSI C82.6–2015 (R2020). 

(ii) Test Measurements. (A) The 

ballast input power during operating 

conditions must be measured in 

accordance with the methods specified 

in sections 6.1 and 6.8 of ANSI C82.6– 

2015 (R2020). 

(B) The ballast output (lamp) power 

during operating conditions must be 

measured in accordance with the 

methods specified in sections 6.2 and 

6.10 of ANSI C82.6–2015 (R2020). 

(C) For ballasts with a frequency of 60 

Hz, the ballast input and output power 

shall be measured after lamps have been 

stabilized according to section 4.4 of 

ANSI C82.6–2015 (R2020) using a 

wattmeter with accuracy specified in 

section 4.5 of ANSI C82.6–2015 (R2020); 

and 

(D) For ballasts with a frequency 

greater than 60 Hz, the ballast input and 

output power shall have a basic 

accuracy of ±0.5 percent at the higher of 

either 3 times the output operating 

frequency of the ballast or 2.4 kHz. 

(iii) Calculations. (A) The measured 

ballast output (lamp) power, as 

measured in paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(B) of 

this section, must be divided by the 

measured ballast input power, as 

measured in paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(A) of 

this section, to determine the percent 

efficiency of the ballast under test to 

three significant figures. 

(B) [Reserved] 

(c) Standby Mode Procedure. (1) 

General Instructions. Measure standby 

mode energy consumption only for a 

ballast that is capable of operating in 

standby mode. Specifications in 

referenced standards that are 

recommended, that ‘‘shall’’ or ‘‘should’’ 

be met, or that are not clearly 

mandatory, are mandatory. When there 

is a conflict, the language of the test 

procedure in this section takes 

precedence over IEC 62301 

(incorporated by reference; see 

§ 431.323). 

(2) Test Conditions and Setup. 

(i) Establish and maintain test 

conditions and setup in accordance 

with paragraph (b)(1) of this section. 

(ii) Connect each ballast to a lamp as 

specified in paragraph (b)(2)(vii) of this 

section. Note: ballast operation with a 

reference lamp is not required. 

(3) Test Method and Measurement. 

(i) Turn on all of the lamps at full 

light output. If any lamp is not 

functional, replace the lamp and repeat 

the test procedure. If the ballast will not 

operate any lamps, replace the unit 

under test. 

(ii) Send a signal to the ballast 

instructing it to have zero light output 

using the appropriate ballast 

communication protocol or system for 

the ballast being tested. 

(iii) Stabilize the ballast prior to 

measurement using one of the methods 

as specified in section 5 of IEC 62301 

(incorporated by reference; see 

§ 431.323). 

(iv) Measure the standby mode energy 

consumption in watts using one of the 

methods as specified in section 5 of IEC 

62301 (incorporated by reference; see 

§ 431.323).

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for 

certain Airbus SAS Model A350–941 

and –1041 airplanes. This proposed AD 

was prompted by a report that during 

flight tests, the opening of the ram air 

outlet flaps was found to cause a 

disturbance of the air flow around the 

ram air turbine (RAT) when the landing 

gear (L/G) is extended. This proposed 

AD would require revising the existing 

airplane flight manual (AFM) and 

applicable corresponding operational 

procedures to provide procedures for all 

engines failure and L/G gravity 

extension related to certain software, 

and installing Airbus temporary quick 

change (ATQC) V3 for the flight warning 

system (FWS) software (SW) standard 

(STD) 6/2.0, as specified in a European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 

AD, which is proposed for incorporation 

by reference. The FAA is proposing this 

AD to address the unsafe condition on 

these products.

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2021–0061, 

dated March 5, 2021 (EASA AD 2021– 

0061) (also referred to as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Airbus SAS Model 

A350–941 and –1041 airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a report that during flight tests, the 

opening of the ram air outlet flaps was 

found to cause a disturbance of the air 

flow around the RAT when the L/G is 

extended. The FAA is proposing this 

AD to address a non-negligible effect on 

the overall performance of the RAT in 

case of total engine flame out (TEFO) or 

electrical emergency configuration 

combined with the auxiliary power unit 

(APU) running, which could lead to 

partial or total loss of RAT electrical 

power generation when the RAT is 

deployed in an emergency condition 

with the L/G extended, and possibly 

result in reduced control of the airplane. 

See the MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2021–0061 describes 

procedures for revising the existing 

AFM to provide procedures for all 

engines failure and L/G gravity 

extension related to certain software, 

and installing ATQC V3 for the FWS 

SW STD 6/2.0. This material is 

reasonably available because the 

interested parties have access to it 

through their normal course of business 

or by the means identified in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the State 

of Design Authority, the FAA has been 

notified of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI referenced 

above. The FAA is proposing this AD 

because the FAA evaluated all the 

relevant information and determined 

the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

EASA AD 2021–0061 described 

previously, as incorporated by 

reference, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD. 

EASA AD 2021–0061 requires 

operators to ‘‘inform all flight crews’’ of 

revisions to the AFM, and thereafter to 

‘‘operate the aeroplane accordingly.’’ 

However, this AD would not 

specifically require those actions as 

those actions are already required by 

FAA regulations. FAA regulations 

require operators furnish to pilots any 

changes to the AFM (for example, 14 

CFR 121.137), and to ensure the pilots 

are familiar with the AFM (for example, 

14 CFR 91.505). As with any other 

flightcrew training requirement, training 

on the updated AFM content is tracked 

by the operators and recorded in each 

pilot’s training record, which is 

available for the FAA to review. FAA 

regulations also require pilots to follow 

the procedures in the existing AFM 

including all updates. 14 CFR 91.9 

requires that any person operating a 

civil aircraft must comply with the 

operating limitations specified in the 

AFM. Therefore, including a 

requirement in this AD to operate the 

airplane according to the revised AFM 

would be redundant and unnecessary. 

Further, compliance with such a 

requirement in an AD would be 

impracticable to demonstrate or track on 

an ongoing basis; therefore, a 

requirement to operate the airplane in 

such a manner would be unenforceable. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use certain civil aviation authority 

(CAA) ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, EASA AD 2021–0061 

will be incorporated by reference in the 

FAA final rule. This proposed AD 

would, therefore, require compliance 

with EASA AD 2021–0061 in its 

entirety, through that incorporation, 

except for any differences identified as 

exceptions in the regulatory text of this 

proposed AD. Using common terms that 

are the same as the heading of a 

particular section in EASA AD 2021– 

0061 does not mean that operators need 

comply only with that section. For 

example, where the AD requirement 

refers to ‘‘all required actions and 

compliance times,’’ compliance with 

this AD requirement is not limited to 

the section titled ‘‘Required Action(s) 

and Compliance Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 

2021–0061. Service information 

specified in EASA AD 2021–0061 that is 

required for compliance with it will be 

available at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0563 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD affects 17 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this proposed AD: 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 14, 2021 / Proposed Rules 37089 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 .......................................................................................... $0 $255 $4,335 

According to the manufacturer, some 

or all of the costs of this proposed AD 

may be covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

operators. The FAA does not control 

warranty coverage for affected operators. 

As a result, the FAA has included all 

known costs in the cost estimate. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national Government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

Airbus SAS: Docket No. FAA–2021–0563; 

Project Identifier MCAI–2021–00282–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by August 30, 

2021. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model 

A350–941 and –1041 airplanes, certificated 

in any category, as identified in European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 

2021–0061, dated March 5, 2021 (EASA AD 

2021–0061). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 31, Instruments. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report that 

during flight tests, the opening of the ram air 

outlet flaps was found to cause a disturbance 

of the air flow around the ram air turbine 

(RAT) when the landing gear is extended. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address a nonnegligible effect on the overall performance 

of the RAT in case of total engine flame out 

(TEFO) or electrical emergency configuration 

combined with the auxiliary power unit 

(APU) running, which could lead to partial 

or total loss of RAT electrical power 

generation when the RAT is deployed in an 

emergency condition with the landing gear 

extended, and possibly result in reduced 

control of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, EASA AD 2021–0061. 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2021–0061 

(1) Where EASA AD 2021–0061 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2021– 

0061 specifies to ‘‘inform all flight crews, 

and, thereafter, operate the aeroplane 

accordingly,’’ this AD does not require those 

actions as those actions are already required 

by existing FAA operating regulations. 

(3) Paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2021–0061 

specifies amending ‘‘the applicable AFM 

[airplane flight manual],’’ however this AD 

requires amending ‘‘the applicable existing 

AFM and applicable corresponding 

operational procedures.’’ 

(4) The ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 

2021–0061 does not apply to this AD. 

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Large Aircraft 

Section, International Validation Branch, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 

14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your 

principal inspector or responsible Flight 

Standards Office, as appropriate. If sending

from a manufacturer, the instructions must 

be accomplished using a method approved 

by the Manager, Large Aircraft Section, 

International Validation Branch, FAA; or 

EASA; or Airbus SAS’s EASA Design 

Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by 

the DOA, the approval must include the 

DOA-authorized signature. 

(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except 

as required by paragraph (i)(2) of this AD, if 

any service information contains procedures 

or tests that are identified as RC, those 

procedures and tests must be done to comply 

with this AD; any procedures or tests that are 

not identified as RC are recommended. Those 

procedures and tests that are not identified 

as RC may be deviated from using accepted 

methods in accordance with the operator’s 

maintenance or inspection program without 

obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided 

the procedures and tests identified as RC can 

be done and the airplane can be put back in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority, as it would 

amend airspace for Portsmouth 

International Airport at Pease, 

Portsmouth, NH, to support IFR 

operations in the area. 

Comments Invited
